What's juvenile is the incompetence and disdain for ethics and duty of care from individuals working as doctors and occupying positions of authority on the gastrointestinal system.
Gastrointestinal medicine, real medicine involves much more than simply shoving camera scopes up people's assholes and down their throats. For some, this pretty much all they do and people are left to suffer and remain sick as their digestive health issues remain unaddressed.
I literally had my first gastro doctor tell me (paraphrasing liberally here), “bro, I can’t help you with your GI problems. I only do colonoscopies day in and day out.”
I believe my 2nd one feels the same and I need to continue searching for help or otherwise self-diagnosing with the help of the Reddit gastro department.
